★Official shiny figures★
Shiny Bandai Kids
I didn't plan to collect these, before I won a couple lots with many shinies from Yahoo!Japan. After ~14 months, I finally held the last missing shiny Kid (Torterra) in my hands and I can now proudly say I DID catch 'em all. There's 62 different shiny figures right now. My favorites are Absol, Latis, Kyogre, Snorunt and Charizard.
Bulbasaur line (2005)
I got these three with 4 other shinies from an awesome lot from Y!J. They are very nice shade of green.
Charmander line (2005)
The always so cool black Charizard and his pre-evolutions! I lost an Y!J auction on my first summer of collecting due to an SMJ error. It made me quite confused and mad, but there wasn't anything else than hoping them to appear again. And after some time, a new lot with the exact same 5 shinies popped up again! This time I won it, although it got much higher than the earlier lot. Oh well. They are still very beautiful and hard to get set, so I'm super happy to have them!
Squirtle line (2005)
Unlike the other two starter lines, I have not managed to find the Squirtle line as a set. Squirtle was actually one of the last shinies I got.
Gyarados (2005)
Another red Gyarados. It is cool of course, but I would still love to see more shinies, which don't have any other merchandise.
Treecko line (2003, 2005, 2004, 2003)
The first set of shinies from Hoenn. They seem to be much more common than those from other generations.
Torchic line (2003, 2005, 2004, 2003)
The other two pokemon of this evolution line have quite dull shiny version, but Torchic has nice reverse colors. The sitting variant is my favorite of these.
Mudkip line (Mudkip 2003, evolutions 2005)
I prefer this lines normal colors, although purple Mudkip is very cute.
Beautifly (2003) and Dustox (2004)
Somehow I like Dustox even better than it's prettier counterpart, especially in shiny form. It looks so much like a real moth.
Beautifly is still beautiful though.

Lotad (2003)
Bandai picked some very random pokemon to give a shiny Kid for, when they got a bigger role in the anime. Lotad is one of those.
Taillow (2004)
I wasn't completely sure, if Taillow even was shiny, when I saw it. Older kids can be a bit different color than new ones sometimes. But it sure is shiny. It should be lighter green in my opinion though, like its evolution.
Skitty (2004)
Cute orange kitty. Even though I don't really adore its shiny form, the pokemon overall is so cute that I don't mind it not having more vibrant colors.
Plusle & Minun (2004)
The mint green Minun is pretty cute. Plusle isn't exactly the same color as its game counterpart, but I actually think this is more interesting than the real one, which is just a bit darker than normal.
Roselia (2004)
I have not much to say about Roselia. Nice shiny, but not one of my favorites. It was also a part of a lot of shinies.
Wailord (2003)
The (in)famous whale. This one is pretty hard to find, but luckily for me, it appeared in a bigger lot, which I wanted anyway, so I didn't have to fight for it individually.
Cacnea (2004)
I don't know why, but I really like this shiny. Perhaps it's the autumn feeling it has. I tend to like grass type shinies, if they remind me of fall and "ruska". I don't know, if there is an english word for it, but it's the time of year, when leaves change color before falling.
Seviper (2004)
I didn't even remember that this Pokemon also got a shiny Kid. I don't think I have seen them much, but it might be only, because the difference is a bit hard to notice, if you are not familiar with Seviper.
And... if Seviper got a shiny Kid, why didn't Zangoose get one too! Not fair, when it has so nice blue shiny version. But of course, Seviper had a big role in the anime so... perhaps that's why.

Corpish (2003)
Another random Pokemon, which probably got a shiny Kid mainly because it had a role in the anime. Not a bad way to pick them, but there still were more interesting shinies in Hoenn, which didn't get one.
Chimecho (2005)
More anime shinies. Not very interesting color change or a Pokemon I would especially care about. But I don't dislike it either.
Absol (2004)
I LOVE Absol!
And I'm definitely not the only one, so this was very hard to get. I managed to get it in a lot with many other shinies. Now it's one of my favorites from my whole collection.

Snorunt (2005)
It's blue! <3
Somehow I seem to find these everywhere. It was the first shiny Kid I tried to win from an auction in the community and I have seen it at least 4 times in Y!J in just a couple of months.

Salamence (2005) and Flygon (2004)
Hoenn Dragons. The normal Salamence is blue, so of course I prefer that over the shiny one. But it's still nice, that it has so noticeable difference in color. Flygon on the other hand looks great. The blue is very close to that of shiny Snivy line.
Latios and Latias (2003)
Like I have said elsewhere, I really like these two legendaries, so they were kind of a mini-grail of mine. I actually got two Latias, one in two different lots. The later lot had also Latios.
She had to wait a bit, but finally she was reunited with her male counterpart.

The Weather Trio (2005)
Even though I like the normal blue Kyogre more than this purple shiny, it is still very beautiful whale. (If only they would make a kid of it's shiny Primal version...)
Even if it is cool too, the Rayquaza looks pitiable to me somehow. It doesn't have teeth! XD

Turtwig line (2009)
Time to move on to shinies of the Sinnoh era. I'm really not sure why, but they are much harder to find than those from the Hoenn era. And they tend to be much more expensive too. Perhaps they are still so new, that the winners have not grown over them yet.
Chimchar line (2009)
Pink apes!
There's a lot of pink shinies in Sinnoh and this is the first set. More will follow...

Piplup line (2009)
I never really cared much about shiny Piplup. But this kid is very nice shade of blue.
Pachirisu (2008)
Pachirisu was my first shiny in the games, so it'll always have a special place in my heart.
Buneary (2008)
More pink. And again they picked shinies with a role in the anime.
Croagunk (2008)
One more anime shiny.
I have watched only a couple episodes from the Sinnoh season. And I wasn't too excited to see, how they treated Brock. So I don't really like Croagunk either.

Electivire and Magmortar (2008)
Magmortar Kid looks even more weird when shiny. It's definitely not the most beautiful shiny around. And being pink, it can't even be cool. It's just weird. And just look at that creepy clown smile...
And Electivire looks almost like the normal version.

Leafeon and Glaceon (2008)
Yes, they are shiny. They came with the original box and all, so I'm 99% sure. Although the Glaceon especially is very hard to tell apart from a normal one, even when holding them both in your hands.
Unova Starters (2012)
I got these only a couple of months after their release still in the box they were sent to the winners. Their colors could be more vibrant, but I still love shiny Snivy/Serperior so much, that I don't really care, how subtle the change is.
Again, lottery prizes with 1000 winners

Genesect (2013)
These are the only shiny Kids that have been sold in stores, so at least for now they are very easy to get. There's also a sparkly movie version of the normal kid, but I've not been able to grab one yet.
Mega Rayquaza (2015)
It's been a while, since the last Kids lottery. So even though it was expensive, it's nice to have another shiny Kid.
Shiny Hasbro figures
I didn't even know these existed for a long time. After getting all shiny Kids, these will be my next target. There's still 7 to go: Charizard, Blastoise, Scyther, Zapdos, Pikachu, Cyndaquil and Tyrogue.
Spinarak
Spinarak was my first shiny Hasbro. I was amazed when it arrived. I really didn't know, it was almost bigger than the palm of my hand! Great blue shiny anyway.
Heracross
I really like shiny Hasbro figures, because there's many shinies, which have no other merchandice. Like this Heracross.
Chikorita
It could be more yellow, but I'm still so happy to have a shiny Chikorita. Johto has my favorite set of starters and their shiny versions are also a lot more interesting than most shiny starters.
Cyndaquil
Cyndaquil is one of my favorite starters ever, so it's awesome to have a shiny version in my collection. It was bought from a friend.
Shiny Rumble U figures
Rumble U is a Wii U game released in Japan (And elsewhere now as well), where you can use figures to store your Pokemon. These figures are sold blind packaged and after 2 sets and 1 promotion it seems that they are going to include 1 shiny secret figure in every set. I'm not complaining~
Pikachu (Set 1)
The first released shiny was, surprise surprise, Pikachu. I wasn't that excited, before it was pointed out to me, that it's actually female. I always wanted a female Pikachu into my collection!
Eevee (Set 2)
Eevee got an official shiny figure!
Like you can guess, I was and still am very excited over this figure. Now one official shiny Umbreon in any form, and my collector life would be complete~!

Genesect (Set 3)
The third set had only event Pokemon. And even though they could have picked Mew, Celebi or Jirachi as their secret shiny, we got another red Genesect. *sigh*
There's also a red Genesect promo Rumble Figure, which was (with a set of normal Genesects with different drives) a lottery prize, but they only gave out 100 of them. Not even sure, if the figures have any differences, so I'm not bothering trying to get it.

Shiny Noctowl Chibi stamper
There's a couple Shiny Noctowl items since Ash has one in the anime. But they were released in Johto era and are quite rare these days. I have only this chibi stamper, but there's at least a Tomy, a charm and a pin.
Zukan 1:40 figures DPSP Movie shiny beasts
Yeah, more shiny beasts. They got quite much merch, when the 13th movie came out. I don't really complain, although there's many other shinies I would love to see getting an official figure (*cough* Umbreon *cough*).
Zukan 1:40 figures Movie 2013 shiny Genesect
Another movie shiny that got its own Zukan. This and the Beasts are only pokemon, which got a shiny Zukan.
Tomy Moncolle
There should be at least Entei and Lucario as well, but these are very rare and hard to find.
Shiny Tomy Monster Collection Gyarados
There's 8 official shiny Tomy figures: This Gyarados, Magikarp, Noctowl, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Garchomp, Rayquaza and mega Gengar. Most of them are very hard to find, except perhaps this Gyarados.
Shiny Tomy Monster Collection Chimchar
Another pink ape!
I don't really know a lot about these starters, but I assume they were lottery prizes like shinies usually are.

Shiny Tomy Monster Collection Garchomp
Shiny Tomy Monster Collection Mega Gengar (2014)
A lottery item from 2014. If you used 1500 yen in Pokemon Center, you could participate in the lottery and 1000 lucky winners got this figure, a Mega bracelet and a shiny Mega Gengar tretta (The white one featured in the other official shiny items section.) I'm a little bit disappointed in this specific figure, because it's left eye is slightly misplaced. But it's way too expensive to buy another, so I'm trying to not think about it too much. At least I managed to grab one!
Shiny Tomy Monster Collection Mega Rayquaza (2015)
Another lottery Tomy. An boy is it beautiful! It's a lot bigger than normal Tomy figures, but I'm not sure if it's super or hyper sized. It's around 15 cm tall.
Shiny Tomy Rayquaza (2015)
Rayquaza got a beautiful black Tomy figure, when it's shiny form was part of the 18th movie. The problem is, it was available only in a movie set with a bunch of normal legendaries. Oh well, totally worth it!
Shiny Tomy Super size MC
I didn't think it could stand, because its head and backpack-thing are so much heavier than its body, but it actually can!
Red Genesect statue
Another shiny lottery prize. This is actually quite big, about 12 cm high. With the background and attack pose it's probably my favorite shiny Genesect item.
Phone strap figure
Hopefully the last red Genesect I'll get. From a 2013 Gashapon set.
